CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application claims priority to and the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2014-0059291, filed on May 16, 2014, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.

BACKGROUND

1. Field

One or more embodiments of the present invention relate to an organic light-emitting device.

2. Description of the Related Art

Organic light-emitting devices are self-emission devices that have wide viewing angles, high contrast ratios, short response time, and excellent brightness, driving voltage, and response speed characteristics, and produce full-color images.

The organic light-emitting device may include a first electrode on a substrate, and a hole transport region, an emission layer, an electron transport region, and a second electrode, which are sequentially disposed on the first electrode. Holes provided from the first electrode may move toward the emission layer through the hole transport region, and electrons provided from the second electrode may move toward the emission layer through the electron transport region. Carriers, such as holes and electrodes, are recombined in the emission layer to produce excitons. These excitons change from an excited state to a ground state, thereby generating light.

The hole transport region may have a single-layered structure formed of a single material, a single-layered structure formed of a plurality of different materials, or a multi-layered structure including a plurality of layers formed of a plurality of different materials.

For example, the hole transport region may have a single-layered structure formed of a plurality of different materials, or a structure of HIL/HTL, a structure of HIL/HTL/buffer layer, a structure of HIL/buffer layer, a structure of HTL/buffer layer, or a structure of HIL/HTL/EBL, wherein layers of each structure are sequentially stacked on the first electrode 110 in the stated order, but a structure of the hole transport region is not limited thereto.

When the hole transport region includes an HIL, the HIL may be formed on the first electrode 110 by using (utilizing) various suitable methods such as vacuum deposition, spin coating, casting, Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) deposition, inkjet printing, laser printing, or laser induced thermal imaging (LITI).

When the HIL is formed by vacuum deposition, for example, the vacuum deposition may be performed at a deposition temperature of about 100° C. to about 500° C., at a vacuum degree of about 10⁻⁸ to about 10⁻³ torr, and a deposition rate of about 0.01 to about 100 Å/sec in consideration of a compound for the HIL to be deposited and a desired structure of the HIL to be formed.

When the HIL is formed by spin coating, the spin coating may be performed at a coating rate of about 2,000 rpm to about 5,000 rpm, and at a temperature of about 80° C. to about 200° C. in consideration of a compound for the HIL to be deposited and a desired structure of the HIL to be formed.

When the hole transport layer includes an HTL, the HTL may be formed on the first electrode 110 or the HIL by using (utilizing) various suitable methods such as vacuum deposition, spin coating, casting, LB deposition, inkjet printing, laser printing, or LITI. When the HTL is formed by vacuum deposition or spin coating, the deposition and coating conditions of the HTL may be referred to the deposition and coating conditions of the HIL.

The compound represented by Formula 201 and the compound represented by Formula 202 may each include Compounds HT1 to HT20, but are not limited thereto:

A thickness of the hole transport region may be in a range of about 100 Å to about 10,000 Å, for example, about 100 Å to about 1,000 Å. When the hole transport region includes both an HIL and an HTL, a thickness of the HTL may be in a range of about 100 Å to about 10,000 Å, for example, about 100 Å to about 1,000 Å, and a thickness of the HTL may be in a range of about 50 Å to about 2,000 Å, for example, about 100 Å to about 1,500 Å. In one embodiment, when the thicknesses of the hole transport region, the HIL, and the HTL are within these ranges, satisfactory hole transporting properties of the organic light-emitting device are obtained without a substantial increase in driving voltage.

The hole transport region may further include, in addition to these materials, a charge-generating material to improve conductivity of the organic light-emitting device. The charge-generating material may be homogeneously or non-homogeneously dispersed in the hole transport region.

The charge-generating material may be, for example, a p-dopant. The p-dopant may be one of a quinone derivative, a metal oxide, and a cyano group-containing compound, but is not limited thereto. For example, non-limiting examples of the p-dopant are a quinone derivative, such as a tetracyanoquinonedimethane (TCNQ) and 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-tetracyano-1,4-benzoquinondimethane (F4-TCNQ); a metal oxide, such as a tungsten oxide or a molybden oxide; and Compound HT-D1, but are not limited thereto.

The hole transport region may further include, in addition to the HIL and the HTL, at least one of a buffer layer and an EBL. The buffer layer may compensate for an optical resonance distance according to a wavelength of light emitted from the EML, thereby increasing light-emission efficiency of a formed organic light-emitting device. For use (usage) as a material included in the buffer layer, materials that are included in the hole transport region may be used (utilized). The EBL reduces or prevents injection of electrons from the electron transport region.

Then, an electron transport region may be disposed on the EML.

The electron transport region may include at least one selected from an HBL, an ETL, and an EIL, but the layers are not limited thereto.

Example 1

An anode was prepared by cutting a Corning 15 Ω/cm² (1200 Å) ITO glass substrate to a size of 50 mm×50 mm×0.7 mm, ultrasonically cleaning the glass substrate by using (utilizing) isopropyl alcohol for 5 minutes and pure water for 5 minutes, and irradiating UV light for 10 minutes thereto and exposing to ozone to clean. Then, the anode was loaded onto a vacuum deposition apparatus.

Evaluation Example 1

Efficiencies, emitting colors, and lifespans of the organic light-emitting devices of Examples 1 to 12 and Comparative Examples 1 to 5 were evaluated by using a Kethley SMU 236 device and a PR650 luminance meter. The results obtained therefrom are shown in Table 1. The efficiencies were measured at a current density of 10 mA/cm², and the emitting colors and the lifespans were measured at a current density of 50 mA/cm². The lifespans measured herein refer to times required to achieve 80% of the initial brightness of the organic light-emitting devices after being driven.
